Temperature decoupled viscosity-density product measurement in liquid by utilizing a dual-mode AlN-based acoustic wave resonator
Abstract
In this letter, we report a two-in-one acoustic wave resonator with Rayleigh and Lamb modes for temperature decoupled viscosity-density product sensing. The Lamb mode of the resonator is sensitive to both the viscosity-density product and the ambient temperature, while the Rayleigh mode only responds to the ambient temperature and is not affected by liquid properties. These unique characteristics of the two modes are due to the different spatial distributions of the acoustic energy. Taking advantage of the aforementioned features, a beat frequency strategy is proposed to decouple the temperature influence from the viscosity-density product measurement, thus realizing temperature independent viscosity-density product sensing in a single acoustic wave resonator chip. Experimental results show that the accurate measurement of the viscosity-density product can be achieved in Newtonian liquids with a sensitivity of −0.36 MHz/kg m−2 s−0.5 within a wide temperature range from 20 °C to 80 °C. Our work holds great promise for liquid property measurement occasions with large fluctuations in ambient temperature, such as oil and gas exploration, automobile, and aeronautic applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
